Along your same line of thinking.. I was concerned about a rod not being long enough if I have to swing it around my 14' oasis tandem!
But, someone brought up another good point, which is that if you have a big fish, a longer rod can be a bit tricky to bring the fish boatside for the gaff shot.. without having a clumsy long rod to wrestle with under your armpit while trying to gaff a fish dangling on 14' of line.
I just got a 6'6" heavy rod for my Revo Toro 50.
We'll see how it goes...
